'Godfather' screening at Film Forum
First two films remastered for DVD, Blu-ray
By PAOLA CAPO-GARCIA.
Film Forum will unspool a restored 35mm print of 'The Godfather'.
New 35mm restorations of The Godfather and The Godfather : Part II overseen by Francis Ford Coppola will unspool in a 3 week run at Gotham's Film Forum starting Sept. 12.
The engagement through Oct. 2 is a tie-in with Paramount's DVD and Blu-ray release of all 3 Godfather pics on Sept 23. Theatrical releases in L.A., San Francisco and other cities are also planned.
The first and second installments in the trilogy will alternate solo weeks at Film Forum before being double-billed for the final week of the run. The Godfather : The Coppola Restoration follows the 4 disc boxed set Par put out in 2001.
Robert Harris, known for his work on such pics as Lawrence of Arabia and Vertigo, supervised the restoration under the direction of Coppola and DP Gordon Willis.
